Oxmoor House, a well known book publishing company in Birmingham, Alabama, is taking preemptive action to recall several books whose errors could put people in serious danger.  Although no incidents have been reported, the company is taking no chances.
The danger concerns 9 different home repair books that contain errors in technical and electrical wiring diagrams.  Following the diagrams could lead to people being shocked or could create a fire hazard.  It could be tough to get the roughly 1 million copies back though, since they were published over a 34 year time-span.  Here are the recalled books:

AmeriSpec Home Repair Handbook

Lowe's Complete Home Improvement and Repair

Lowe's Complete Home Wiring

Sunset Basic Home Repairs

Sunset Complete Patio Book
